 Heading to Asheville, North Carolina to visit Biltmore, built for George Washington Vanderbilt II. It was such a monumental task, a woodworking factory and a brick kiln operated on site. And a three-mile railroad spur was constructed to bring materials to the site. Four acres of floor space, 250 rooms including 35 bedrooms. Also a heated pool, a bowling alley and a gym. Any visit to the Asheville area needs to include a tour of Biltmore.
